This blog chronicles the miracles and struggles of our daughters, Emily and Olivia. Emily was born 15 weeks early and had many complications, but she continues to amaze us! Olivia, born in China with heart complications, is also beating the odds. She joined her forever family (us!) when she was four years old and has been doing wonderfully! UPDATE: We started homeschooling August 2009 :)

Pictures, pictures, pictures!

Andy recently bought a new little digital camera so he could keep one in his pocket. The good and bad is that now we have even more pictures! This month is only half over, but between the two cameras we have over 800 photos in our June folder! So, sorting through them to see what to scrapbook &/or blog is no quick or easy task! This morning while the girls were at Vacation Bible School I made a little headway and I've posted a few of our recent photos and collages.
